"Roughin' it!"

Oh-Yeah we had it hard all right! This is the first year we weenied out and used a camper, but it sure was worth it! We had a pop-up camper with AC, it may be old, but dang it was comfortable! So Bad! Scott, Kyle and I just went on the annual camping trip to celebrate our niece, Shelby's 10th birthday. It was us, my sister in-law Stefanie and brother in-law Stace, Nolan and Shelby. It is so cool she choses to camp for her birthday, it is always so much fun and the park my sister in-law found a few years ago is awesome!

Birch Creek is a Texas Parks and Wildlife park, right on lake Somerville. The camp sites are wooded, so basically private with a trail right to the water, there is wildlife everywhere ( perfect for Scott and Stace!), hiking trails and nice beach areas at the water.

Kyle had absolutly the time of his life. As much as he LOVES to be outside, he just thought he was in heaven being outside, ALL DAY for 2 1/2 days. He got to play in more dirt and more water than he knew what to do with. He swam in the lake, walked A LOT on the trails and the shore and played badminton with the big kids. I did realize that its the simple things that keep him happy, just give the kid a bucket and some water and he will be happy for hours!

Scott and I also had fun, I never thought it would be just as fun to chase a kid around a campsite all day, as not. It was great to see him have so much fun and experience something Scott and I like so much. And of course we got in a couple of naps! Can't wait for next year!
